The doctrine has the potential to create passivity regarding evangelism.Terryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17725093818552655944noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4206974101759413323.post-89166119913434375482009-02-24T17:16:00.000-06:002009-02-24T17:16:00.000-06:00Terry,The "available light" theology is pretty muc...Terry,<BR/><BR/>The "available light" theology is pretty much as you have understood from the email. I feel you have given this subject a good treatment. As you alluded to, Paul in Romans 1:20 clearly says that God has and continues to reveal himself to all men so that we are without excuse.<BR/><BR/>Certainly God will be the ultimate judge in these matters and I will not presume to legislate how he should deal with those who haven't received the gospel. I think this "available light" theology really undermines God's desire for us to go into all the world.<BR/><BR/>Anyway, good thoughts! Keep up the great work.Mitchellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14136155015685987417noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4206974101759413323.post-390414435405616582009-02-23T21:08:00.000-06:002009-02-23T21:08:00.000-06:00Thanks for the comment, Wes.

I hope that I misunderstood him, because you're right...the message in Romans is that we need Christ because no one is good enough.Terryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17725093818552655944noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4206974101759413323.post-14396711218631056282009-02-23T20:24:00.000-06:002009-02-23T20:24:00.000-06:00If that minister believes we're saved by being goo...If that minister believes we're saved by being good enough, he needs to read a little bit further into that letter!
